Lens Overview — Samyang 24mm f/1.4
Key Features — Samyang 24mm f/1.4
24mm f/1.4 Wide Aperture: A maximum aperture of f/1.4 allows for strong light gathering and shallow depth of field at a wide focal length, useful for astrophotography, low-light interiors, and environmental portraits.
Full Frame Coverage: Designed to cover a full-frame image circle, making it fully compatible with high-resolution full frame bodies without vignetting.
Manual Focus Only: A dedicated manual focus ring gives photographers direct, tactile control — well suited to landscape, architectural, and video work where precise focus placement matters more than speed.
Multi-Mount Compatibility: Available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds mounts, making it one of the more broadly compatible wide-angle primes across different camera systems.
77mm Filter Thread: Accepts standard 77mm filters, a common size shared with many professional lenses that simplifies use of existing filter kits including ND, polarizer, and graduated filters.
Prime Lens Design: A fixed 24mm focal length keeps the optical formula simple and supports consistent image quality across the frame.

Description — Samyang 24mm f/1.4
The Samyang 24mm f/1.4 is a wide-angle prime lens designed for full frame camera systems, featuring a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture that opens up creative possibilities at the popular 24mm focal length. Built as a manual focus lens, it caters to photographers and videographers who prefer deliberate focus control, making it well suited to landscape, astrophotography, and cinematic applications where precise focus is set intentionally rather than driven by AF systems. The lens is offered across four mounts — Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds — giving shooters across multiple camera ecosystems access to the same optical design.
A 77mm filter thread provides compatibility with a wide range of popular filter accessories. The lens weighs 580g and carries a Prime construction at a Wide Angle focal length range. There is no image stabilization, so steady support is advisable in situations where camera shake could be a factor.
